What cargo cannot be loaded directly onto a wire mesh deck?

Fine powders, liquids, small loose components, and products with soft or irregular undersides should not be placed directly on a wire mesh deck without a liner. Gaps in the mesh surface allow small items to fall through and can mark or damage products resting on the wire grid. A solid liner board, plastic sheet, or cardboard layer placed on the deck resolves this for most cargo types without affecting the ventilation benefit at the frame and sides of the pallet.
